When you create nail art, do you use nail polish, striper polish, or craft paint?

I use everything to do nail art, depending on the design. For example, if I’m doing marbelizing, I’ll use nail polish. If I’m doing striping, I’ll use acrylic craft paint and a striper brush. If I’m doing a character like a cat, I’ll use acrylic craft paint. Basically, for most of the designs, acrylic craft paint will do the trick. And of course, colored acrylics! — Patricia Lopez of Studio 24 in Parral, Chihuahua, Mexico, won NAILS Mural Contest in 2008.
